Rig Veda
ā yajñair deva martya itthā tavyāṃsam ūtaye agniṃ kṛte svadhvare pūrur īﾱītāvase
God, may a mortal call the Strong hither, with solemn rites, to aid, A man call Agni to protect when sacrifice is well prepared.
asya hi svayaśastara āsā vidharman manyase taṃ nākaṃ citraśociṣam mandram paro manīṣayā
Near him thou seemest mightier still in native glory, set to hold Apart yon flame-hued vault of heaven, lovely beyond the thought of man.
asya vāsā u arciṣā ya āyukta tujā girā divo na yasya retasā bṛhacchocanty arcayaḥ
Yea, this is by the light of him whom powerful song hath bound to act, Whose beams of splendour flash on high as though they sprang from heavenly seed.
asya kratvā vicetaso dasmasya vasu ratha ā adhā viśvāsu havyo 'gnir vikṣu pra śasyate
Wealth loads the Wonder-Worker's car through his, the very wise One's power. Then, meet to be invoked among all tribes, is Agni glorified.
nū na iddhi vāryam āsā sacanta sūrayaḥ ūrjo napād abhiṣṭaye pāhi śagdhi svastaya utaidhi pṛtsu no vṛdhe
Now, too, the princes shall obtain excellent riches by our lips. Protect us for our welfare: lend thy succour, O thou Son of Strength. Be near in fight to prosper us.
